15.97 grams of 22 carat Gold. (Piedfort Double thickness sovereign).

Supplied in the original Royal Mint box with certificate of authenticity.

Mintage: 3484

The reverse depicts an illustration of the legend of St George as the slayer of the dragon, in its original 1817 interpretation.

St George is on horseback, advancing to right, wearing a helmet and chlamys (cape, or cloak) fastened in front by a fibula, and holding a broken lance. His left hand clutches the rein of the horse’s bridle, and he does not wear armour, other than on his lower legs and feet, with his toes bare. The saint’s horse appears to be half attacking, half shrinking from the dragon, which lies wounded by George’s spear and in the throes of death. The point of the lance is broken off in the dragon’s side.

In relief in the left part of the ground line, the artist’s initials B.P. (for Benedetto Pistrucci).

Surrounding the image, a Garter circlet inscribed with the Order of the Garter’s motto, HONI · SOIT · QUI · MAL · Y · PENSE · (from old French: Shame on he who thinks evil).
